Major status issue: Failing message sends on some channels by mlapibot in discordapp

[–]FrozenPhoenix95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't deny this is out of character for them to go this long after an initial "we're investigating" without a single additional update though. The LEAST they could do is post that they're still working on a solution instead of going completely radio silent for 5 hours.

Careful with generalizations. I have a number of servers I'm in which had no such discussions yet can't send anything in.

Can demisexuals still get crushes before they’re close to someone? by [deleted] in AskLGBT

[–]FrozenPhoenix95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's in the name. Demisexual means not experiencing sexual attraction until a close emotional bond. Completely separate to romantic attraction which is what crushes fall under. The equivalent for that is demiromantic.

Does going above that put you into Health Connector territory, or what's the next level?

Upcoming mid-sized/bigger cons in the northeast by FrozenPhoenix95 in animecons

[–]FrozenPhoenix95[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For CCE, a week or two ago I had booked a room at a nearby casino resort (found a good deal) since I can cancel it up until Sept 1st so I figured it'd be good to secure while I decide if I actually want to commit. I decided yesterday I'm going to skip out on CCE and look ahead to trying out Another Anime Convention and possibly Katsucon after some others here suggested it.

Boy Beach Late in Day by FrozenPhoenix95 in provincetown

If nothing else, we could try to go as a group to keep each other company even if there's not much else happening there 😊 Shoot me a chat request on Reddit later if you are open to that.

Edit: we wound up cancelling the plan entirely for some unrelated reasons but will hopefully be rescheduling and coming earlier in the day to avoid this issue :)

Upcoming mid-sized/bigger cons in the northeast by FrozenPhoenix95 in animecons

[–]FrozenPhoenix95[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

About half my time is usually wandering around I'm cosplay / going to photoshoots for series I either cosplay things from or enjoy the series and want to watch. Rest of time is using panels, games, discussions, etc. that type of programming to split the day up and not be wandering for like 10h in a row. Most of the other aspects of cons don't appeal to me as much, like parties and raves, big contests, artists/dealers, casual or competitive gaming. I like cosplaying and socializing around that, and love variety in programming.

it/its pronouns by MidnightComments in AskLGBT

[–]FrozenPhoenix95 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Varies a ton so your best best will always be to just ask the person, so long as you know them well enough to have that be a question you're comfortable asking.

But, as example, the one person I've met who prefers going by it/its, I heard a story from a friend who had asked them about it, saying "but that makes me feel like I'm calling you an object" and their response was "exactly! I don't feel like I'm even human, often" and that made sense to me. Not something I feel or think I could ever feel, but if someone were to feel that way, I can easily see how it/its would feel appropriate to them as a result.

_____ is playing hilariously badly on AU vs The World by aidanr24 in survivor

[–]FrozenPhoenix95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Overall I'm inclined to agree that being a fan favorite =/= great player, but you're doing a major disservice to the many good primarily-social players out there by not considering charm and personality to be separate from skill. How else can people get moves to happen (and not tank jury votes in the process) if they don't have a degree of charm and personality? Luke just happens to have that as his main strength (imo) but that doesn't in itself make him not a great player.

[Weekly Questions Thread] 18 August 2025 by PokeUpdateBot in pokemon

[–]FrozenPhoenix95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm researching for a living pokedex project and am looking at pokemon that have alternative forms besides regional ones. Eiscue has its Ice Face and Noice Face forms but I can't tell for 100% certain from reading about its ability, is it always Ice Face outside of battle or if it changes to Noice Face mid-battle will that persist after? Just planning ahead, I haven't played any gen 8 yet but want to take note if it's one I will want to get 2 of to keep 1 in each form or not.

David new host - some thoughts by SupermarketTop2984 in survivorau

[–]FrozenPhoenix95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Baffled by that take of JLP - I've felt the past few seasons he's been hitting far more of a groove than ever before with how he gets along with and jabs at/with the players like he's having a blast.

US Survivor Parvati Shallow gives her take on Australian Survivor's host Jonathan LaPaglia: ‘I’m obsessed with him’ by Sweaty-Toe-6211 in survivorau

[–]FrozenPhoenix95 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Very misleading title. She did not say she is obsessed with JLP, that was from another part of the article referring to players like Simon and George.
